Ways To Quit Smoking
There are countless ways to quit smoking, and the majority of smokers have tried their hands at most of them. There is the old “cold turkey” standby that tends to send people into a painful period of withdrawal that eventually causes them to start smoking again. There are also the nicotine-based cessation programs like gum, patches, and lozenges. While many of these result in short-term success, they usually don’t help you quit smoking for good.

Ways To Quit Smoking

There are countless ways to quit smoking, and the majority of smokers have tried their hands at most of them. There is the old “cold turkey” standby that tends to send people into a painful period of withdrawal that eventually causes them to start smoking again. There are also the nicotine-based cessation programs like gum, patches, and lozenges. While many of these result in short-term success, they usually don’t help you quit smoking for good.

Ultra-Herbal offers one of the safest and most effective ways to quit smoking on the market today: Nicocure. These all-natural patches are fully effective 97 percent of the time. Instead of releasing more of an addictive chemical into your system, Nicocure patches utilize a proprietary, all-natural formula to rid your body of its need for nicotine. Why try to break a nicotine habit by giving your body more of this dangerous chemical? Try Nicocure instead for a safe, all-natural alternative to those ineffective, nicotine-based gums and patches.

Results or Your Money Back – With Nicocure, you simply wear one patch a day for 30 days. In many cases, users see satisfying results within the first 10 days! Even when this occurs, however, it is a good idea to continue the process for the full 30 days.

For the stop smoking aid that truly breaks the nicotine cycle, try Nicocure today, completely risk-free.

Good mothers and fathers come in many styles. Each one of us has different strengths, interests, and values that make us great parent. Don’t let yourself become discouraged or disappointed when others ‘give you advice’ that doesn’t seem to mesh with who you are. Maybe you’re not a roll around on the floor kind of parent with your child. Maybe you’ve decided to hang back and let your little one explore. That’s great! As long as it works for you and your child, nobody should be able to convince you that your method is incorrect or wrong. Once you recognize and embrace your own personal parenting style, you can stop trying to live up to everyone else’s expectations and get on with the business of enjoying being a parent.

Your Child Sleep

It’s important to keep in mind too, that these well-meaning advice givers don’t know your child as well as you. They aren’t there with your child night and day, watching him grow, learn, explore, play, eat, and sleep. Only you know what’s best for your child, and you know what works best in your household and for your lifestyle. As with anything, figuring things out along the way will involve trial and error.

So when you receive yet another unsolicited piece of advice regarding your child’s napping or nighttime sleeping habits, keep both your and your child’s personal style in mind. You’ve done the legwork, you’ve experimented, and you’ve learned together what works and what doesn’t work. The cues should come from your instincts regarding your child and from your child directly. There’s no such thing as a hard-and-fast rule for sleep habits among children other than it is needed! As your child grows, his cues may change, but as long as you stay in tune with him, his sleep habits shouldn’t have to suffer as a result. And neither should yours.

(NC)-During my term as Chair of the National Strategy on Community Safety and Crime Prevention, I have a visited cities in the United States, England and Belgium to discuss successful crime reduction strategies with local crime prevention officials. One thing that struck me was how similar their experiences were. In each city there was a serious crime problem, a focused response and a substantial improvement in both the reality and the perception of safety.

Reduce Crime In Your City

Although there are no “one-size-fits-all” solutions, there are common elements at work, chief among them a willingness to involve the community in a meaningful way. As one Chief of Police observed, “I [used to think] that the police fought crime alone and that the community could only get in the way. Now we’ve got it right. We understand that in order to prevent crime and keep our community safe, we’ve got to involve the community as our partner.”
Jack Calhoun, President and CEO of the U.S. National Crime Prevention Council has identified six factors that were present in successful American city programs, even though actual strategies differed. They are:

A belief that all key municipal entities must play a role in cutting crime and violence. Schools, businesses, municipal government and social services must all work together.
The need to engage in specific, traceable actions. Cities need to have clear data on what the problems are, where they are and what’s causing them. They need to know what’s working and what isn’t in order to use resources effectively.
The courage to do business differently and to share power. Giving up “turf,” while difficult, is essential to working together.
A dual commitment to targeted enforcement and prevention – things like after school programs and mentoring. Law enforcement resources must be deployed consistently with broader crime prevention objectives.
A commitment to the long term. This is a challenge when some offer instant solutions, but helping young people build better lives doesn’t happen overnight.
And, as Calhoun puts it, “Clear, passionate, hands-on commitment from the leading policy-makers, prime among them the Mayor and the Chief of Police.”

Leadership; working together; identifying problems and then attacking them; measuring results; doing business differently; being tough on crime and equally tough on the causes of crime . . . these are the factors that we witness everyday in projects and communities throughout Canada. They produce positive changes here, just as they do in countries around the world.

Stress, America’s #1 health problem, is a leading cause of major illness. In fact, heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression are just some of the harmful effects of stress. Research has shown that releasing stress and learning how to relax promotes a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.
Here are 3 easy ways to reduce your stress fast.

Reduce Stress Right Now

1. Breathe Deeply
Take 3 slow deep breaths. Taking the breath from your diaphragm, through your nose, holding for about 2 seconds and then slowly exhaling through your mouth. Why slow deep breaths? Because when we are under stress, we tense up, constricting the oxygen to our body. Taking slow deep breaths brings oxygen throughout our body resulting in feeling centered and releasing stress. Giving your body much needed oxygen will release tension and stress fast.
2. Meditate
The purpose of meditation is to relax and to release stress. Meditation allows the body to relax and permits a means to release the “chatter” in your mind. It is important for you to know that there is no right or wrong way to meditate. Meditation is simply a form of concentration and focus; it is a process that quiets the mind. Since much of our negative stress is caused by our own thoughts, this is an especially useful method.
Here are steps for a popular, quick, and easy guided mediation:

Get into a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Take 3 deep breaths.
Visualize all the stress in your mind and body as a cloud of gray smoke. Allow this cloud to be released through the crown of your head. Imagine the gray cloud floating into the sky and disappearing. Feel the weight of the stress being releasing out of your body and into the cloud. Allow your shoulders to drop and continue until you have no more gray smoke or for about 10 minutes.
Imagine a healing white light that has surrounded your body. Feel the warmth of this light and allow it to infiltrate your body. Slowly open your eyes.

3. Try Hypnosis
This technique involves sitting comfortably with your eyes closed while listening to suggestions. Hypnosis is relaxation, focus, and suggestion. Using these three elements your mind and body will enter into a deeply relaxed state that gives you an overall sense of well being and tranquility. Hypnosis is one of the oldest and most natural modes of healing dating back to 1000 B.C. In 1958 the American Medical Association approved the therapeutic use of hypnosis. This brought mainstream recognition that hypnotherapy was a valid and legitimate form of healing. During this time hypnotherapy was respected and accepted in America.
Meditation & Guided Imagery are techniques that use the natural power of the mind in creating what you want in life. Einstein estimated that we only use 10% of our brains. In practicing Meditation and Guided Imagery, we have access to the other 90%. Since thoughts are one of the most powerful possessions we can have, it is important to keep the thoughts and images positive. Meditation and Guided Imagery works because the Physical Universe is energy, this energy is vibrating at different speeds. Energy is magnetic causing similar thoughts to attract other similar thoughts. What we dwell on, we will attract. Thoughts and ideas are high vibrating forms of energy and are very powerful. Form then follows ideas. This is the reason that thoughts and ideas in Meditation and Guided Imagery particularly must be in a positive form.
Here are some steps to make
Meditation and Hypnosis more effective.

Desire- You must have the desire to make a positive change in your life.
Belief- You must believe in the power of the mind.
Acceptance- You must accept the process of Meditation and Hypnotherapy including the results.
Set you goal- Decide on what you want and be committed to it.
Create a Clear Idea or Picture- Create the vision in your imagination and make it clear.
Focus on it often- Keep the images of your goal in your mind as often as possible.
Give it Positive Energy- Keep your frame of mind and thoughts positive.
Look For the Positive Changes- Look for the subtle ways Meditation and Hypnosis are changing your life, and believe in the magic of life!

Have you ever had a great business idea?
Did you focus & plan out the business in your mind and then write it down on paper?
Of course you did “Take Action”? Right?
Well most of us have great ideas or talents that we can share with the rest of the world but never do. WHY???

Lights, Camera, Take Action

Think about how many Jobs you could have created and how many people you could have helped with your idea or business. Do you see where I’m going with this?
So what happened? Why didn’t you make it happen? There are many reasons most of us don’t Take Action on our ideas but Fear is one of the biggest reasons why.
Why are you afraid? Well fear is the result of an incorrect thought. We are fearful of failure and of the unknown. I know because I was guilty of that too!
What I really “Failed” at was realizing that failure is a gift that brings knowledge. If you fail, you learn and grow but only if you accept it as the gift that it is. If you’re like me you’ve failed and given up a time or two. BUT the simple TRUTH is that when “Failure” happens you have to see the lesson to be learned.
My Friend when this happens you will always succeed! Failure is your friend remember that!!!
😀
Besides, it’s not even TRUE failure. TRUE failure happens when you stop trying.
Fear of the Unknown is the bane of many people’s existence.
You know how it goes – ”What if…”
And YES, I was also afraid of the Unknown. Remember we’re programmed from a young age to Fear and to fear the Unknown. The problem is that Fear breeds negativity and that in turn can ruin anything if we let it. But, that’s a subject for another day.
Those “What Ifs” usually never happen and if they do then you need to take the time to examine them for your lesson. Every bad thing has good in it, so it’s up to you my friend to decide which side you’ll look at.
The Unknown has immense opportunities and potential for growth both spiritually and financially. The past is known and the unknown lies in the future. If your past has not gotten you to your dream or goal, then the unknown is the place to be. Don’t you think so?
Take Action and Do something worthy!
Here’s a couple quotes for you to think about:
“Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.”
Louis E. Boone
Author
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face…You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
1884-1962, Social Activist and Former First Lady

January 1st rolls around and there are resolutions up the wazoo – which no one seems to keep.

Fun Resolutions To Achieve In The New Year

Society instantly asks to you recognize some glaring personality flaw – on the spot. Without any planning, preparation or foresight you go for it! You pick something monumental to fix. You never start small or say, “I promise to water and care for the house plants!” Instead you pick something that’s been plaguing you for months or even years. The infamous, “I promise to quit smoking” or “…lose twenty-five pounds.”
Failing miserably, you’ve fallen off the wagon by January 21st. Statistically speaking, less than 10% of women who commit to lose weight, stop smoking, stick to a budget, get a new job, or be a better person will actually accomplish what they said they would on January 1st.
So, why fight it?
Perhaps you should give chocolate, “2017 Honorary Food Group Status” where you can indulge in delicious, delightful, smooth, and creamy morsels that keep your head, heart, and tummy pleased. The reality is most women are cutting out an entire “chocolate food group” that has four times the antioxidants of green tea and it releases endorphins, which makes you feel happier.
Here are 7 totally awesome ideas to women who want to succeed and feel like a million bucks all year long (despite what 90% of the population does – or more accurately has failed to do by now) Now you can finally stop berating yourself for what you promised to do… should’ve… could’ve… or or haven’t done.
The Top 7 Fool-Proof Resolutions:
1. Rekindle your inner imp. Who says the “better” you is your stuffy self all prim and proper? When you let out the silly, sassy, playfully mischievous, and audacious girl you truly show your true colors. You can accomplish anything.
2. Be non committal. Play with marvelous ideas for a bit. Half of the stuff we say we will do, we never actually plan on really doing it. All these promises we feel we should, must, or are obligated to do got completely trashed within the first week. Try stuff on for size before commit. You can do anything set your mind to… once you really want to. Play until you feel the time is right. Get FREE tips that prove You Don’t Have To Do Anything at www.shesite.com.
3. Live in a land of conundrums. Slow down and pick up the pace. Try yoga and drink triple lattes. Let your childlike wisdom shine. Try “modern urban rustic” décor. Be a modern minimalist multitasker. Drink nonalcoholic beer. Experiment with the extremes and see what marvelous moments you come up with.
4. Be unrealistic. Think bigger about the world than you ever have before. Go outside your comfort zone. Dream beyond your expectations. You have miraculous abilities to accomplish all you desire so passionately dream… dream… dream – in vivid technicolor – until you have considered every imaginable possibility that thrills you.
5. Steal resources. Why recreate the wheel? Just find all the people around you who have achieved the same or similar goals. Find out what worked for them – and what didn’t. Try their solutions on for size. Add plenty of personal modifications so the color, style, and habits fit you like a glove.
6. Throw your arms up. Give in and give up. It’s the stress and strain that’s got your panties in a bunch. Without it you can do some pretty fierce stuff. You always got great results in the past when you were free flowing, energized and in the moment. Let go and see what happens.
7. Be selfish. Give yourself unadulterated permission to think about you and only you! Be incredibly opinionated and resolute about what feels wonderful – then go for what you want. Allow yourself to connect with your true desires, wants, and needs. Toss out societal expectations and indulge in what makes you smile!
And if you want to start with a clean slate – don’t worry. There’s still time to come up with the perfect “anti-resolution” for the Chinese New Year on January 29th!

Have you ever wondered what’s really holding you back from achieving all your dreams and making the money you really want to make?
Well, worry no more. It’s not your fault. The latest research of the most advanced information on the human brain and its effects on our success uncovers truly revolutionary insight.
Here are just a few of the newest neuro-scientific discoveries that are blowing away scientists:
1. It is now known that humans think on 6 different levels at once, yet only one sixth of it is at a conscious level.
This means that 83% of the time you are acting automatically at a non-conscious level. This explains why just making a decision is nowhere nearly enough if you want to improve any of your results. You must re-train your brain if you want to achieve more. This is also why diets don’t work.
2. Another great discovery is that non-conscious brain cells (neurons) can detect and pick up information up to 800 times faster than conscious neurons. The good news is that you can now train these faster brain cells to work for you, not against you. This is absolutely using your real power and not just 17% of your real abilities.
3. A third great discovery has to do with your Amygdala. This part of the brain has been conditioned at a very young age by your parents, teachers and the events in your life.
The Amygdala doesn’t like change and will release neuro- transmitters anytime you try to change something in your life. Any deviation from what is your norm right now sets this off and basically causes you to revert back to your old patterns of thoughts and behaviors. This explains why most people have a hard time leaving a job or relationship they aren’t totally happy with.
It also explains why people stay at the same income bracket year after year. It may not be what they want, but it’s what they are accustomed to and conditioned to expect.
So if you wondered what was holding you back from achieving all your dreams and making the money, don’t worry. It’s not your fault.
